Should College Education be Free?

College education should be free for all students. Education is a basic right and the key to success and prosperity and making it accessible to be a better society.

Countries that provide free education in college have higher rates of college graduates and more educated workforce. Providing free college education for students will reduce the burden of student debt.

Opponents of free education in college argue that it would be too expensive for the government to provide. The benefits of a more educated population will outweigh the costs in the long run.
